Applicant background --------------------------------- I am from Bulgaria (South-Eastern Europe). I am 32 and I use computers since I was 15. My first Linux experience was in 1999 when installed Debian's slink. The urgent reason to try GNU/Linux was that Microsoft started a massive legalization campaign that forced the company I work for to look for alternatives to expensive server licenses. Since then, all servers in this company and more than half of workstations are running Debian. I use Debian GNU/Linux at home too. I want to volunteer my time, because I feel this is the natural thing to do. I've learned so much from Debian that I'd like to be able to give something back. My contributions to Debian include maintenance of src:firebird2 packages (uploads sponsored by Francesco Lovergine (frankie)) and occasional bug reports. My interests are in package maintenance. In the immediate future I plan to continue maintaining firebird2 and get FlameRobin (a GUI tool for managing Firebird datbases) in Debian. Getting FlameRobin in Debian toke convincing two upstream authors to change their license - you can find a couple of threads in debian-legal about this. I plan to get more involved in pkg-perl too. 3. Philosophy and Procedures --------------------------------- Damyan has a good understanding of Debian's Philosophy and Procedures. He answered correctly to my questions about the Social Contract, DFSG, BTS, etc. 4. Tasks and Skills --------------------------------- Damyan maintains (or co-maintains) 4 packages, the Firebird database server, a Firebird client and two small Perl modules. Damyan answered promptly and correctly to the questions about Tasks and Skills His packages are in a decent shape and he fixed some of the spotted problems quite quickly. Recommendation --------------------------------- I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
